英国宣布将派一批军官援助利比亚反对派武装
Britain says it will send a team of military officers to the Libyan rebel stronghold of Benghazi. The Foreign Secretary William Hague said they would not be involved in training or arming opponents of Colonel Gaddafi but would advise on military organisation, communications and logistics. Mr Hague said the move was in accordance with the UN Security Council resolution on Libya.
"This is not British ground combat forces going in. We're very clear about the United Nations resolutions. They forbid any occupation, foreign occupation, of any parts of Libya, and we will absolutely stick to that. We're helping with non-lethal equipment, such as telecommunications and body armour."
The Libyan Foreign Minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi told the BBC that sending military personnel would only serve to prolong hostilities.
